Utah and Idaho trips

 We headed up to Logan Utah on our way to two family reunions. We could

have just stayed here, the kids had a blast. I didn't even see Mia, she was gone playing the 

whole time and Kellan was obsessed with the swing, he literally stayed on there for hours and wouldn't get off. We went to this beautiful place by the river, fed the ducks and walked ... 

 these pictures crack me up... there were these strange

red ant things that were all over the place and Mia was so afraid of them

As you can see in the pics, she kept looking down on the ground to see if one was getting close to her foot.

 haha

 it's a beautiful place

 Aunt Bre and the kids came on Thursday and grandpa B came too

so they all went hiking by the river. We went to Texas Roadhouse that night and Rick

and I even rode bikes with Kellan to get stuff to make smores by Nicole's grill. It was a great night.

 On to Rexburg.. This is the house I was born in St. Anthony, Idaho It use

to have a white picket fence and I had tons of animals and of course was just a few

short steps to my Grandma Lil's house. 

 most beautiful place in the SUMMER

 We went down to Uncle Rob's house to fish and Kellan just absolutely loved

the fish and kept trying to kiss them!

 really??

 grandma Lil and me

 we actually ended up taking Scott and Hailey up early to the reunion

so they could be with everyone and Scott even got some fish! I said what are sisters for

if we can't trade kids once in awhile!!!

group pictures of the mini Rydalch reunion. Mia was so sad to leave this 

place, I understand her, it use to be my favorite place on this planet. Kellan 

absolutely loved jumping in the puddles and being a boy. It was a great night!

some of the grandkids

 Off to the next reunion: Up at Heise Hot Springs.

We all got really bad food poisoning at the hotel (worst experience as a parent)

Rick got it in the morning so he couldn't get out of the car at the reunion and we only stayed a few

hours, such a bummer 10 hours drive from Vegas :( I did manage to get this one picture

of my grandma Rosie though and I'm so glad since she's got Alzteimers now and is not remembering anything.

 we got back home, Rick decided to play around with Mia and she did not appreciate it, went into the other

room and made this. I guess he won't be farting on her any time soon!

 Mia and I got to go to the lake and it was a blast.

I wakeboarded and even tried surfing. I got up after the 2nd time! woohoo!

 I got these cute pics this morning before church: Kellan is 19 months now and

seriously a handful and the cutest thing ever! I put him in his first time out and he actually stayed,

at one point he even crawled out of the corner to get his bears and crawled back. I even said you have to

say sorry and give kisses to Mia if you want out (he hit her) and he finally said Sorry Kellan. haha

 then I said, " It's naptime and he put his hands to my mouth and said "No mom, No very gently and 

shaking his head." 

 peek a boo... Silly kid

 19 months: so funny, full of love, always cuddly, repeats everything, still

loves his binky ( I know I know) says Binky are you??? Not in here!! 

LOVES cars, his sister, and is definitely a mama's boy...

Mia the other day told me that she is not sure that she wants kids of her

own because of the "pushing business down there" She said, " I panic when something hurts." Apparently she's been listening to my sisters and I too much . ooops ..
